Read our Shincha Complete Guide
The flavors of shincha tea can be described as tart and savory, but there is also some sweetness to the tea as well. The tartness comes from the catechins in the tea, and the sweet and savory flavors are due to the theanine.
The taste of shincha tea is quite complex, with these smoother and sweeter tones battling these tart or slightly astringent notes. Each sip of this tea is a little bit different, and it leads to an enriching tasting experience.
A lot of people are curious about Shincha so we thought we would write up a short article about shincha as well as take the opportunity to share some of the shincha tea we have found around Japan. Read our complete guide 👇


What is Shincha?
Shincha is made by using the leaves from the first picking of the season.
This tea is produced just like any other type of tea. First the tea is harvested somewhere in between early April and early May. The top sprouts of the tea plant are selected in order to maximize the flavor and the nutrients.
These leaves are the youngest, freshest and are also known for having the highest concentration of nutrients in them.
This tea has become famous for its taste and seasonality and there is an excitement that builds each year.
